The following are some of my favourite pieces of media, grouped into one glowing list of graciousness! From them, I derive not just entertainment, but also concrete meaning and personal connection to things that would otherwise seem mightily far away. Things I may never have come to understand myself. Each of us have pieces we … Continue reading Stand-out Media – Across All Mediums

I'd be lying if I said I don't absolutely love NEW GAME! (My review of S1) It's one of those shows I instantly fell in love with. This - for the most part - is down to its brilliant characters. There's isn't a single one I don't like. Each of them serve a purpose in … Continue reading The Relatability of Hifumi – NEW GAME!

For those that are wondering, there won't be any major spoilers, if at all! Made in Abyss is brought to us by the animation studio, Kinema Citrus. A studio formed in 2008 by former members of both Production IG and Bones. The show is directed by Masayuki Kojima, who has previously worked with Madhouse, … Continue reading Why You NEED to Watch Made in Abyss

Summer Already... Eh - First Impressions So, with a new season already upon us, what shows are looking likely to tickle our fancies? To get our minds roaming, and our juices flowing... Well, anyway. So far, the season looks like it's setting itself up to be... alright. Hopefully it will turn out to be more … Continue reading Summer Anime 2017 – First Impressions

Nekopara - The 'Catgirl' Visual Novel Nekopara, is something of an... enigma. Not because it is the best VN's have to offer, though I do find it certainly isn't the worst... But because, it fills a niche. After all, where else do you get to open up a bakery with a loyal troupe of your … Continue reading Nekopara – Thoughts From A Lonely Cynic

The shows listed below are in no particular order per se, though the ones I feel may oust the others are positioned … Continue reading Summer Anime 2017 – The Best

For the past few days, I've been watching Flowers of Evil. A show that has been on my radar for quite a while now. It's one of those shows that appeals to my inner-self; creating a kind of semantic lust that I cannot quite understand. And, after having watched it, it does not disappoint in … Continue reading Aku No Hana (Flowers of Evil) : Critiquing Criticism

Unpopular opinion incoming: I do not particularly like Attack on Titan (Season 2 especially...) HERESY! You say...! And, you might be right. Maybe... Currently AoT stands with a score of 8.69 on MAL. Something which I personally think is absolutely mental. And, before I go on, I want to say that I do not think … Continue reading Attack on Titan Season 2 – Failing to Stand Out

As far as I know, Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away was the very first anime I watched. Well... maybe that's not strictly true. When I was a kid, there was Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh. But... I'm inclined not to include them. For what better place to start than with Ghibli and its auteur Hayao Miyazaki. I'll start … Continue reading Spirited Away, Studio Ghibli, and Youth

Eromanga Sensei - Entertainment? I don't think - in any sense - it's a great show... it probably isn't even a good one. And yet, it keeps pulling me back after each episode... for a reason that is slightly lost on me. Almost as if it shouldn't exist at all. Because, in many respects, … Continue reading The ‘Attraction’ of Eromanga Sensei
